The federal six-year graduation rate is not published here — typically because the entering cohort this measure follows is too small or too atypical to report. Treat completion as unknown rather than assuming either direction. 67% of full-time first-years come back for year two, so about one in three are gone before sophomore year. A 19:1 ratio is unremarkable; expect a mix of lecture halls and seminars. Being a for-profit short-program school is the single most useful context for these numbers — the sector's spread is wide enough that the school-level figures matter more than usual. At 153 undergraduates, expect a small, closely-held student body.

IPEDS Student Financial Aid · 2023-24 · grant and loan rates against 153 degree- or certificate-seeking undergraduates

Average net price after grant aid is $23,198 a year — mid-range for a four-year institution. Net price varies modestly by income — $23,053 at $0–30k against $25,025 at $75–110k — so the average is a fair guide for most families. Grant aid reaches 52% of students at an average of $6,369. Federal borrowing reaches 40% of students.

Entering first-year students

A different, smaller group than the rates above: full-time students in their first year of college anywhere. The grant series here also excludes the "other sources" counted in the all-undergraduate figure, so the two are not comparable.
